Resignation of coach occurred after arrest

Former Canyon High School cross country coach Amanda "Mandy" Patrick was arrested during a school-sponsored trip, according to KFDA NewsChannel 10.

Patrick was arrested Nov. 15 during the state cross country meet in Austin and charged with public intoxication.

Patrick resigned Jan. 4 for personal reasons, according to Canyon Independent School District. Patrick also was a special education teacher.

Canyon ISD spokeswoman Christy Bertolino wouldn't discuss the arrest.

"I can't confirm anything about the arrest," she said. "I can confirm that Mandy Patrick resigned on Jan. 4th."

Canyon athletic director Brent McCallie declined to comment.

The news came one day after Canyon ISD contacted the Canyon Police Department to investigate a separate matter, this one involving an alleged inappropriate relationship between a teacher and a 16-year-old student.
